Moving to Boston and wondering where people recommend to live? Considering closer to the centre or a prettier suburb where we could have a little yard or something?

I like Jamaica Plain, easy access to the city through the T but it still feels like a suburb with walking paths and public parks.

I live in a pretty suburb called Lexington. Let me know if you have any question about Lexington or the small towns around lexington. I personally have not lived in the city so cannot speak about that, but I have stayed in Newton, Chestnut Hill, Brighton, Allston during college.

Hey!!!!! 😄😄😄🦅🦅🦅

Most of my friends who wanted yards moved to Waltham

I live in south shore. Lots of houses with small yard.

DM if you’re looking for an apartment in South End - very central location, and extremely spacious for the area

Most of my circle moved to Medford which is just north of the city. You need a car to get around from there, even though there is a t stop there. It's far enough away that rent/housing is noticably cheaper, but not too far away to deter you from going into the city. And good space between houses

Thanks everyone!!

working for deloitte this summer in their gps consulting practice in the dmv. Unfortunately, due to some difficult family circumstances, I believe I’ll have to move back home to Miami after college. If I do receive a return offer, is there any chance I can ask for it to be remote/be moved to the miami office? Should I make that clear to my superiors before offers are given out or will that hamper my chances at getting an offer in the first place? Thanks for the help
